Concatenate hex string with ASCII string

Hello,
I'm new to LabView and I'm building an application that speaks to a camera. I'm stuck at something that seems quite basic: I need to concatenate a constant string of hex values (0002 040D ...) with an ASCII string of hex characters (00D0A10F, for example), that comes out of a "Number to Hex string" block. The output should be a string of hex values (0002 040D 00D0A10F) and go to the camera, but the concatenate block turns the ASCII string into hex display too, so that every character is converted to two hex symbols....
I found a very old post where someone claims they found a solution; unfortunately, it's not posted...
Does someone have an idea what do to do?
Thanks a lot!
Michal
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Give this a try - it converts an ASCII string of hex characters into the ascii characters.
So, if you view the output as hex, it should concatenate properly with your other data.

Concatenate Hex'04' to text string

Hi
I need to concatenate Hex'04' to text string. How can I use class cl_abap_char_utilities to realize it?
Thanks,

Hello Peter,
use a single TextField and concatenate the string before putting it into the context. FormCalc or JavaScript won't be needed then.
A good way to determine where the problem resides is to create an addition WD based
TextView and display the same data there. If it shows up with data there and with no
data in the form, then the problem resides in the form rather than in the WD context.

Replacing a special character in a string with another string

Hi
I need to replace a special character in a string with another string.
Say there is a string - "abc's def's are alphabets"
and i need to replace all the ' (apostrophe) with &apos& ..which should look like as below
"abc&apos&s def&apos&s are alphabets" .
Kindly let me know how this requirement can be met.

REPLACE
Syntax Forms
Pattern-based replacement
1. REPLACE [{FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF]
pattern
          IN [section_of] dobj WITH new
          [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
          [{RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE]
          [REPLACEMENT COUNT rcnt]
          { {[REPLACEMENT OFFSET roff]
             [REPLACEMENT LENGTH rlen]}
          | [RESULTS result_tab|result_wa] }.
Position-based replacement
2. REPLACE SECTION [OFFSET off] [LENGTH len] OF dobj WITH new
                  [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].
Effect
This statement replaces characters or bytes of the variable dobj by characters or bytes of the data object new. Here, position-based and pattern-based replacement are possible.
When the replacement is executed, an interim result without a length limit is implicitly generated and the interim result is transferred to the data object dobj. If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, the data is cut off on the right in the case of data objects of fixed length. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or hexadecimal zeroes. Data objects of variable length are adjusted. If data is cut off to the right when the interim result is assigned, sy-subrc is set to 2.
In the case of character string processing, the closing spaces are taken into account for data objects dobj of fixed length; they are not taken into account in the case of new.
System fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The specified section or subsequence was replaced by the content of new and the result is available in full in dobj.
2 The specified section or subsequence was replaced in dobj by the contents of new and the result of the replacement was cut off to the right.
4 The subsequence in sub_string was not found in dobj in the pattern-based search.
8 The data objects sub_string and new contain double-byte characters that cannot be interpreted.
Note
These forms of the statement REPLACE replace the following obsolete form:
REPLACE sub_string WITH
Syntax
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO dobj
        [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
        [LENGTH len].
Extras:
1. ... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
2. ... LENGTH len
Effect
This statement searches through a byte string or character string dobj for the subsequence specified in sub_string and replaces the first byte or character string in dobj that matches sub_string with the contents of the data object new.
The memory areas of sub_string and new must not overlap, otherwise the result is undefined. If sub_string is an empty string, the point before the first character or byte of the search area is found and the content of new is inserted before the first character.
During character string processing, the closing blank is considered for data objects dobj, sub_string and new of type c, d, n or t.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The subsequence in sub_string was replaced in the target field dobj with the content of new.
4 The subsequence in sub_string could not be replaced in the target field dobj with the contents of new.
Note
This variant of the statement REPLACE will be replaced, beginning with Release 6.10, with a new variant.
Addition 1
... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
Effect
The optional addition IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE determines whether byte or character string processing will be executed. If the addition is not specified, character string processing is executed. Depending on the processing type, the data objects sub_string, new, and dobj must be byte or character type.
Addition 2
... LENGTH len
Effect
If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all the data objects involved are evaluated in their entire length. If the addition LENGTH is specified, only the first len bytes or characters of sub_string are used for the search. For len, a data object of the type i is expected.
If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length will be cut off to the right. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or with hexadecimal 0. Data objects of variable length are adapted.
Example
After the replacements, text1 contains the complete content "I should know that you know", while text2 has the cut-off content "I should know that".
DATA:   text1      TYPE string       VALUE 'I know you know',
        text2(18) TYPE c LENGTH 18 VALUE 'I know you know',
        sub_string TYPE string       VALUE 'know',
        new        TYPE string       VALUE 'should know that'.
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text1.
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text2.

I have a field in my database that is a string with numbers in it and I need it formatted like so: "xx-xx-xx-xxx" nine characters long.
For example: 92438014
I need it to look like: 09-24-38-014

I was on this site searching for an answer to my problem, and you provided the solution for me with your response to the above. However, my problem was a bit different. I needed a way to format a 9-digit number string into a standard Social Security number format. I used your formula from above, and WOW - it worked! If I could award you double Forum Points, I would. But, since I can't do that, I will just say thanks, and ask God to bless you profusely.

How can I substitute a string with another string in a file

I have a file. I have a substitute a keyword with another string in all the occurences of a file. How can I do this?

I'm gonna give you the benifit of the doubt and assume you didn't mean to double post your question.
As to substitute a keyword with a string one way is to read in the file and run it through a StreamTokenizer class to break it into words. Pull one word at a time, check it, and stick it into a StringBuffer. Once your done with the file overwrite it with what is in the StringBuffer.
Another way might be to use the RandomAccessFile class, but I'm not really familiar with that because I hardly ever use it.

Removing TCP hex codes from ascii string

I have a TCP connection to my VI and I'm using PuTTY to communicate with it. It is a basic terminal with a few commands. On boot my first command is always unrecognized because a few TCP protocol's are sent immediately beforehand:
FF FB 1F “window size”
FF FB 20 “terminal speed”
FF FB 18 “terminal type”
FF FB 27 “Telnet Environment Option”
FF FD 01 “echo”
FF FB 03 “suppress go ahead”
FF FD 03 “suppress go ahead”
Each command is always proceeded by a command character "FF". I can remove the entire offending sting without any problem, however what I've been trying to do is remove any hex code following the command character. I have tried a few things with regular expressions without much luck. Any insight on how to solve this challenge would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Devin

I'm not a regular expression power user, but I'd try something like the code below (right-click on "Search and Replace String" to set the "Regular Expression" option). This code looks for \FF followed by either \F0 through FA, or \FB through \FE followed by any other character, which I think matches the rules in the Telnet protocol as listed here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc854 It replaces any match found with an empty string.

How do I concatenate a variable with a string text?

I have a script that tests urls. If it comes across one that is not a valid url, I want to print out to the console a message that looks like this....
Http://myDomian/myPath: This is not a valid url
I currently have the url in a variable and this is what my attempted code looks like, so far.
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red $url "This url is not valid."
but this is just giving me an output that looks like "This url is not valid", without displaying the url that it finds to be invalid. How to I get it to display the url that it finds not valid plus the text? Please help

You are not following instructions because you have not read the help:

Error when dynamically acquiring string with variable string length

Hi,
I have written a VI to send voltage signal and read back the channel 1 and channel 2 data of a SR830 lockin amplifier using serial port. I obtain the channel readings as a single string separated by "," using the snap function. The problem is that when ever the channel 2 data gets very close to zero then the output is in engineering format like say 6.73883e-005. This is where the problem occurs. When such a situation is encountered, I always get a time out error. I have tried to increase the byte count in the read VISA ( till around 50) but then I get this error more often, but if I reduce it to something like 17, I only get this error as I mentioned above only when the channel 2 reading is very nearly zero. I have tried to reduce the byte (to as low as 8), but then I donot get back the whole channel 2 reading (this ch2 reading is also important to me). I am in a fix. Please give me a way out.
I am attaching here the VIs.

I am really sorry for the late reply. Well, I tried to increase the time constant inthe sr830 initialize VI, upto 240,000 ms. But I still get the error, and not always now when the reading is near zero. Can you please tell me whats wrong? I am in my very early days in labview and this is infact the first program I have written. BTW i am using a serial port to communicate with the SR830 lockin amplifier. Can you tell me in this context how I use SRQ? thanks in advance.

Replaces all occurnces of one String with another String in a given source

Hi all I had found that there is a lot of interest int this topic. there is a little piece of code that I wrote for myself recently, so I fgigured that it might be helpful for some...
This method will scan through a string "source", find all of the occurances of a String "before" and replace them with the "after".
Enjoy :-)
public static String replace(String source, String before, String after)
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(source);
int startpos = source.indexOf(before);
int endpos = startpos + before.length();
int i = startpos;
while( i > -1 )
     if( startpos > -1 && endpos <= source.length() )
     source = sb.replace(startpos, endpos, after).toString();
     int lastReplace = source.lastIndexOf(after) + after.length();
     if(lastReplace <= source.length())
          startpos = source.substring(lastReplace, source.length() ).indexOf(before);
               endpos = startpos + before.length();
               i = startpos;
     else
          i = source.length();
     else
          i = -1;
return source;

How to replace part of a String with another String :s ?

Got a String
" Team_1/Team_2/Team_3/ "
And I want to be able to rename part of the string (they are seperated by '/'), for example I want to rename "Team_3" to "Team C", and "Team_1" to "Team A" while retaining the '/' character how would I do this?
I have tried using String.replace(oldValue, newValue); but this doesnt work, any ideas?

What do you mean that it doesn't work? You do know that the method returns the modified string? The actual string that you invoke the method on is not altered.

BIG ASCII string to HEX string

Hello guys,
I know that is already a lot of posts regarding this issue, but I couldn't find exactly what I need and also couldn't manage to solve it myself...
I need to convert a string with ASCII characters to a string containing HEX representation of these characters.
What I did was:
Apparently it works very well, but only for a limited numbers of characters, defined by data representation of the 0 constant (U64). It allows me to convert only 8 ASCII characters, as you can see on the image below:
So, it converted from 0 to 7, but not the remaining characters (8 and 9).
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

What is the data type of the constant wired into the typecast. My guess is it is a U64. So it will only typecast the first 8 bytes of your string to a number, then you are doing hex on those 8 numbers.
Use the function String to Byte Array. Or you could also typecast where an array of U8 integers is wired into the typecast function.

Non ASCII String to Hex

Hi,
I am writing an algorithm that first encrypts a String, and then converts that String to Hex String. I can successfully parse Hex Strings into Ascii Strings and vice versa, but when I encrypt I cannot do this anymore. Is there a way to convert a non-ascii character to Hexadecimal and vice versa?
Thanks in advance

Maybe so....
The encrypted value when printed does not format on my screen, and appears as boxes and such.
The values that I am passing in are a very simple encryption....XOR against a key. Here is that algorithm.
public byte[] encrypt(byte[] value) {
          byte[] encrypted = new byte[value.length];
          byte[] adjustedKey = getKey();
          while (adjustedKey.length < encrypted.length) {
               String temp = new String(adjustedKey) + new String(key);
               adjustedKey = temp.getBytes();
          for (int i = 0; i < value.length; i++) {
               encrypted[i] = (byte)(adjustedKey[i] ^ value);
          return encrypted;
Since this is an XOR, I can use the same method to decrypt as well. This is what produces my non-Ascii characters.
Is there a way for me to get the byte value of a 1 digit hex value then? this may help some.

Failure to read multiline string with Read Key.vi

I converted 2D array into a spreadsheet string and attempetd to write it as a key value into a configuration file. This worked just fine. However, when I attempted to read this multiline string using Read Key.vi, I got just the first line in return (see two vi's attached).
As sufficient documentation on configuration file vi's is all but missing, could you please advise on their (undocumented) features? What do I miss?
Thank you.

I use Config files all the time. Much more user-friendly than the
Registry. They are a Microsoft thing really, rather than LabView, and
come from Windows 3.11. Each value is limited to one line, so when you
write a spreadsheet string with end-of-line characters in it, you're
effectively breaking the .inf file
The solution? Try putting a "Search and Replace String
" after your
"Array To Spreadsheet String". Wire "Replace All" with a TRUE constant,
and wire "Search String" with a string in "\" view and enter \r\n (or do
0A0D in Hex view) and then then wire Replace String with a ";"
Now your .inf file will look like:
[Array]
Data=1.0000,0.0000,0.0000;0.0000,2.0000,0.0000;0.0000,0.0000,3.0000;
When reading it, just reverse the search and replace strings above.
I hope this helps,
Andrew

How to replace a particular striing with another string in jtextpane

how to get replace a particular string with another string of a jtextpane without taking the text in a variable using getText() method .

Thanks for your answer,
"relevant object" means for you datasources, transfer rules and transformations ?
With the grouping option "Save for system copy" I can't take easily all datasources, and others objects
Will I have to pick all object one by one ?
What would be the adjustement in table RSLOGSYSMAP ? For the moment it's empty.
